CFP: Digital Nightmares (IB Tauris, 2015)

Following the unavoidable withdrawal of two contributors
we are seeking two submissions to a collection contracted to IB Tauris.Deadlines are tight and we are requesting
completed papers by 1 March 2014.

The themes are:

i) Technological Hauntings:

After the success of the televisual nightmare of Ringu
(1998), post-millennial films have registered an important influx of literal
ghosts in the machine. In fact, as White Noise (2005), Pulse (2006) or One
Missed Call (2008) evince, spectres now haunt every form of information
technologies, from phones to computers and radios. We are seeking a paper of
around 5000 words on any of these themes.

ii) CCTV Horror

In recent years, there has also been a systematic
application of new digital media to the recording methods and narrative
structures of the horror genre, with films such as My Little Eye (2002) shot
exclusively from the point of view of closed circuit television. We are seeking
a paper of around 5000 words on the subject of CCTV horror.

Please contact the editors as soon as possible to discuss
possible submissions:
